SUMMARY:CMMC Compliance for Builders & Contractors: What You Need to Know Before It Impacts Your Work 6/17 HR
DESCRIPTION:CMMC COMPLIANCE FOR BUILDERS & CONTRACTORS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE IT IMPACTS YOUR WORK\nWednesday\, June 17\, 2026 |  11:30AM – 1:30PM\nCMMC isn’t coming\, it’s already here. And for many builders\, contractors\, and subcontractors\, it’s quickly becoming the difference between staying eligible for work and getting cut from the opportunity pipeline. \nJoin Charles IT’s Trevor Davis and Larry Robertson for an in-person session built specifically for ABC Virginia members. We’ll break down what CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) means for your business\, where most contractors are getting stuck\, and what it takes to move forward with confidence. \nThis isn’t just a requirement for prime contractors. CMMC applies across the entire defense supply chain. This means if you’re connected to a DoD project in any way\, there’s a high likelihood these requirements apply to you (or will\, come November). \nIn this session\, we’ll cover:\n• Who needs CMMC Level 2 and how to quickly determine where your business falls\n• The most common assumptions we’re hearing and why they’re putting contractors at risk\n• What it takes to become CMMC Level 2 compliant including timelines\, expectations\, and effort required\n• The biggest blockers organizations are running into right now as the November 10 deadline approaches \nWe’ll keep it practical—giving you a clear\, real-world look at how CMMC is showing up in contracts\, what assessors expect from you\, and how to avoid costly missteps. If you’re pursuing government work\, or supporting a contractor who is\, this session will help you understand where you stand today\, what’s ahead\, and what actions you should be taking now. \nBecause at this point\, CMMC isn’t a future initiative; it’s a business requirement \nSPEAKERS\nTrevor Davis\, Account Executive\, Charles IT\nLarry Robertson\, General Manager\, Charles IT\n \nLOCATION\nABC-VA Hampton Roads Training Facility\n530 Independence Parkway\, Suite 500\, Chesapeake\, VA 23320 \nCOST\nMembers — $37\nNon-members — $67\nLunch provided \nCANCELLATION POLICY\nPlease note that a reservation constitutes a financial commitment unless cancellations are made 48 hours in advance.

SUMMARY:Bluebeam Construction Estimating Principles and Application 8/4 [VIRTUAL]
DESCRIPTION:Bluebeam Construction Estimating Principles and Application (Virtual)\nTuesday\, August 4\, 2026  |  1:00PM – 5:00PM\nGreat Estimators know that to be competitive and competent in the current market\, their companies must continually be in search of an edge. “How can we approach this project differently than our competition?” \nTrack 1 – The Estimating Principles Behind Every Bid:\nThis open forum discussion led by a panel of experienced construction estimators explores advanced elements of construction estimating. Experienced estimators will be challenged to evaluate their own systems within the framework of current trends and models with an emphasis on Bluebeam. Every topic will be discussed from various perspectives to allow Estimators from across the spectrum to benefit. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nCost/Price analysis\nPricing project constraints\nHow to build flexibility into your system\nOptimum time to complete\nEscalation\nManaging risk within the estimate\nDanger zones to avoid\n\nTrack 2 – How Technology Can Produce Faster\, More Accurate Estimates:\nOftentimes simply being more visual in your bid scope can put you ahead of the competition by showing you truly understand the project. Each day we’ll spend some time demonstrating how technology can not only replace your highlighters\, scales\, and calculator\, but fluid company standards for you and your team. With an emphasis on Bluebeam Revu\, these digital tools and workflows will produce clear\, visual markups that are accurate\, predictable\, and consistent no matter who on the team uses them. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWorking with PDF drawings\nCalibrating drawings\nMeasurement tools\nCustom measurement tools\nDisplaying and exporting data\n\nInstructor: Troy DeGroot\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, UChapter2 | Owner\nAs a Bluebeam Certified Consultant\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, and Implementation Specialist\, Troy travels the country training over 2\,000 students annually with customized tools and workflows. It is these extensive and diverse training opportunities that have led to Troy being a requested annual presenter at AIA meetings\, Bluebeam Academy and Bluebeam’s very own eXtreme Conference (XCON). \nWith over 20 years in the industry\, Troy has cultivated a deep understanding of the requirements of customers\, the needs of end users\, common goals of management\, and the capacities of the technology. He has led many companies through successful software implementations and training.
